Importance of standard numbers
• ISBN & ISSN are used to match records for the union databases
• ISBN is used to look up shelf status for books by Z39.50 in OutLook
• ISSN is used by link resolvers to match citation and fulltext for journal articles
• Number matches are more accurate than title / author
